affordable housing rules

Minneapolis will definitely get snow, but there isn’t towing in that depth of snow. That’s child’s play.

It’s a truly lovely place to live though. Yeah winters are a chore, but we go hard in summer. And there’s some excellent camping within less than an hour’s drive.

I’m an NDSU grad, so I’m a little biased, but Fargo is a really cool town. The downtown is especially awesome. Pretty good food, good bar scene, a few museums and such. If you can handle a winter you’re golden, because the summers are not bad at all.

Coming Soon to St. Paul: Little Lots

Came across this after walking through my neighborhood thinking about which corner lots would be best for ADUs*. The point from the article that I find quite interesting is that 59% of homes are built so tightly to lot minimums.

*this might be my dorkiest trait. I just happen to live in a good walkable neighborhood of Saint Paul and work in architecture 🤷

Re: orizuzu’s comment on python. I’m just starting out too and I’ve really enjoyed Automate the Boring Stuff. I have the course on Udemy, but he’s got the first chunk of it on YouTube if you want to try it out first. There is an accompanying book but I haven’t dived into it, just watching the videos for now. He does a good job of explaining concepts through simple examples that you can type out along with him, which he recommends. Good luck!

Logseq is pretty similar to Obsidian, and it’s FOSS. It’s still really young, but I’ve enjoyed using it more than Obsidian for my personal note taking style. It’s block-based and focused on daily journals, so instead of folders of individual notes the tags/references become interlinked pages. It’s been cool to see my daily logs become a web of concepts. Syncing is a new function they’re adding for supporters, but it can be done with Syncthing if you’re nasty.

It’s definitely a different way of note taking than Keep or Joplin and maybe not for everyone, but I hope I’m at least doing it justice and piqued someone’s curiosity!
